So beautiful, I was surprised how well kept this park was. I was also surprised to see how big the duck pond was. The garden was beautiful enough to have a wedding in. The park has a wide variety of things from swings and children's play areas. Basketball, tennis, soccer courts are also here. Great for jogging

I love this park, it's so nice. And since the staff has installed those new security cameras a few years ago, the park has been safer for both visitors and the animals.

Really, really pretty, great hiking trails, awesome playground, you will commonly run into a dog going for a walk, so of course that's awesome, then their is the really big duck pond with duck, geese, cranes, and carp! Clean and very very fun! Also great place if you play Pokemon GO! It is a MUST-visit!!!!

No clue why anybody would give this beautiful FREE admission park anything less than 4 stars. This park has been a favorite place of mine both in childhood and in adulthood. The Rangers and staff work extremely hard here to make sure the park is always clean and if ever there have been any issues with ANYTHING they are always right there immediately to help. This is a wonderful part. I love Stanley Park.

Also a great place to come and enjoy the out doors. The fish in the pond are huge. Make sure you take a walk through the gardens to see all the flowers.
